The 387,000 s/f first class office and technology center directly on Rte. 128 overlooks Lake Quannapowitt. Site of the former American Mutual Insurance Co., the park combines modern, efficient flex space with maximum corporate exposure and direct access to Rte. 128.

There is structured and surface parking on-site for 672 vehicles with a high ratio of 4 spaces per 1,000 s/f. The park is located within minutes of Rte. 93. Both the North Avenue and Route 129 entrances to the park have direct access to Route 128. Building 100, built in 1999, is a four-story 168,000 s/f first class office building in a richly landscaped setting featuring a modern glass and precast Efis façade, quality finishes, and an atrium lobby with seating area. Building 200 was initially built as a landmark building with high corporate standards for American Mutual. Subsequently the building was repositioned and leased to Comverse when Building 100 was constructed. Today it is a high performance 2-story 219,000 s/f mixed use technology and office facility with fully redundant power, executive conference room, heavy floor load capacity, and 11-1/2'-plus clear height.
